• Using an electric mixer beat egg whites until they form stiff peaks.

SUNDAY MORNING LEMON POPPY SEED PANCAKES

Steps:

• Stir the milk, vinegar, and lemon juice together in a bowl; let stand 10 minutes to curdle. Whisk in egg, butter, and vanilla extract.
• In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, poppy seeds, and lemon zest until well combined. Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and whisk a few times until the batter is mostly free of lumps.
• Heat a skillet over medium heat and spray with cooking spray. Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake into the skillet and cook until bubbles appear on the surface, about 2 minutes. Flip the pancakes over with a spatula and brown the other side, about 2 more minutes.

LEMON RICOTTA PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks, ricotta cheese and butter.
• In a small bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, salt and lemon rind. Stir the flour mixture into the ricotta mixture just until blended - batter will be thick.
• With an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Gently fold the whites into the batter - don't over mix.
• Heat a griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour batter onto the hot pan to form 4-inch rounds. Cook until the bottoms are golden. Turn and cook the other side.
• Serve with fresh berries and a dusting of confectioners sugar.
